I just had the same error as reported by Toby, when trying to install
mplayer for the first time. The cause for this is a typo in the dependency
that mplayer is looking for:
It tries to find the package mad-shlibs, but the package name is
actually libmad-shlibs !


So "mad" should be replaced by "libmad" in the Build-Depends and Depends
lines of the file /sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/graphics/mplayer-0.90.0-2.info

As far as I can tell, mad-shlibs is available in the unstable tree, just like mplayer. I assume that you copied the mplayer .info and .patch files over into your local tree. Did you do the same for mad?

trying to install the mplayer, but come up against a missing package warning. Poked around a little bit and can't find the mad-shlibs patch or info files. Is this something for the maintainer?

Thanks.
